The PCs are sent on a task to map a tomb and recover a spell book. The party will have to travel for about a day to reach the tomb. There is a well thought out wandering monster list for the jungle, but not the tomb. Also, there is no rumor table. The text is not blocked or highlighted to show parts that are read to players. The map is a half page (long-wise) and there is not 1 single B/W art image to be found or pre-generated characters for that matter. It just lacks too many elements to be seriously considered.

This is not a review of the module's content, but its "physical" aspects. Most XRP modules have had a page count of 16, there have been a couple at 12 pages and a few with 20 or more, with the latter priced at $7 rather than the usual $6. This latest module, #14: The Verdant Vault of Malakum, is typically priced at $6, but only has 8 pages! I didn't notice this in the product description and if I had, I would not have purchased it. That's getting close to a dollar per page. I have so far purchased every module in the Advanced Adventures line, but #14 may just be my last purchase from XRP, because I tell you, 8 pages isn't a module, it's an appendix. XRP, rethink your pricing policy or at least limit accepted submissions to a decent page count.
